Mount of volume-subpath which is available in Docker version 26.0.0, build 2ae903e using Python SDK for docker #3243

Description

@AbijithVS

Hi ,

I found a docker volume option “volume-subpath” in the Docker version 26.0.0. This could be used to mount a sub-directory or a sub-path inside a host docker volume to a container without mounting the entire host volume.

But while using Python SDK for docker, I am not able to use this volume option. Only source and target options were seen for docker volume configuartion using Python.

Is there any way to tackle this issue? I need this feature as part of a project developement. Please provide me some solution to implement this concept using Python.

We are developing in Linux 6.2.0-39-generic Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Python 3.10.12

Thanks in advance,
Abijith V S

    @milas I'll try to work on it, and I'll open a Draft PR for you to see.

    Docker engine PR (moby#45687) that added support for volume subpath

    +1 for adding this feature. Mounting subpaths of volumes is very useful in "docker outside docker" setups where sibling containers need to share data. Work on the PR seems to have stalled since September.

    Thanks for merging this! When is this expected to be released as part of a python package publicly?
